ED medication AFTER Vaser Lipo?

N
NMRBSKJun 19, 2016

I understand using erectile dysfunction treatment before surgery (and anaesthesia of any kind) is not recommended. However, how long after VASER Lipo is one able to use these medications again? (Viagra, Cialis, Sildenafil, etc). Will these medications cause any issues in terms of recovery?

It is best to wait for at least 6 months up to 1 year to go for a #revision. Usually, final results can be seen 2-4 months later as the #swelling continues to diminish and contours become more defined. Most of the swelling and bruising will resolve in the first two weeks (although some may...
